The look at the stars

Since the dawn of humanity, we have looked at the sky and seen stars that may have gone out millions of years ago. We follow them when we travel, seek advice from horoscopes and dream of discovering the galaxies. Since 2011, International Space Day has been celebrated on April 12th - in memory of the first manned flight in space in 1961 and the first space shuttle flight in 1981. This challenge is designed to help you discover the stars in your world. What stories do they have to tell?
